I'm new at this and this is my first fanfic. All feedback is welcomed.
Letty pulled into the parking lot next to Dom's Charger. Looking over she saw Dom laying on the hood of the car, staring up at the sky. Taking a few deep breaths, she cut the ignition and leaned back into the seat. It had been a week since they had gotten back home with Dom and Marcus. It was about time to have that talk about the ever-present elephant in the room. Taking one last glance at Dom, she gathered up her courage and got out of the car.
"I want to know why, Dom." Letty said calmly,
"Letty, I put my family first! Always!" Dom insisted, "I couldn't leave him with Cipher. It was too dangerous to let her keep him. I had to make a call! I don't regret getting him back."
"I know you don't. But not telling the team? You knew you could have told us. We could have made a plan to get him back. You didn't have to cut us out!" Letty snapped, "And as for putting your family first. What about me, Dom! What about me!"
"I couldn't think of you. Not when Elena and my son were out there and they needed me!" Dom yelled.
"I know that! You think I don't?" Letty shouted, "But you could have trusted us. You could have at least told me. I am your family, and you couldn't have enough faith in me to help you get them back."
"I needed to do it alone. I had to get both of them back, alone. That was my responsibility." Dom said.
"And look where that got you." She mumbled. "She's gone, Dom. She's gone because you didn't let us in on your plan to get them back. You, me, Hobbs, the entire team would have done everything in our power to get Elena and Marcus back. If you would have let us."
"I wasn't putting you and the team in Cipher's way." He said.
"I couldn't let what happened to Elena and Marcus happen to you! The team can forgive what happened in time. But if something would have happened to you while I was trying to get them back, I couldn't live with myself. So, I went alone. I did everything in my power to protect them. I failed Elena. But I got my son back." Dom told her, "I just hope I didn't destroy us in the process."
"You made that choice, Dom. Not me. Now, you have to live with it. As for destroying us. Almost everything can be fixed with time." Letty said walking back to her car.
"But right now, it may be best if you didn't come back home. You have to find yourself before we can fix us." She added, opening the door to her car and reaching inside, "Here! Don't forget this." She called throwing something in Dom's direction and sliding into the seat.
Catching it, he opened his hand revealing the cross they had shared for almost 16 years; their wedding band. Looking up he watched her slam the door, start up the Mustang and peel out of the parking lot. Leaving Dom to watch her headlights fade into the night. It took everything he had not to go after her and shake her until she understood why he had done what he had. Because she knew. She understood. But she couldn't believe that he had that part inside him. That part that could hide the most important part of his life away from the most important person in his universe. It was that, that she couldn't understand. It was going to take her some time to get past that. Turning around he got into his car and left, not knowing where he was going. Not far, he wasn't leaving Marcus behind. Not when he just got him back. But for now, he would be safe with Mia and Letty.
